Converting Still Images into

Photomovie Scenes

Still images are recorded using JPEG compression, but a DVD player only recognizes the
MPEG standard. That is why in order to display your still images as scenes in your DVD,
first you have to create a Photomovie scene – a slideshow of all still images on the disc,
where each image will be displayed for approx. 3 seconds.
